<p>Subjective:
Essays: My big essay was one of my best ones, IMHO.
The rest of the shorter paragraphs were good.
Teacher Recs: Didn't see.
Counselor Rec: Didn't see.
Hook (if any): Native language is Pilipino but interested in majoring in English ? CanEHdian ? I dont know.
Location/Person:
State or Country: Vancouver, Canada
School Type: Private Catholic
Ethnicity: Filipino
Gender:male
major strength/weakness: strong in the humanities, weak in the sciences, my SAT's were not stellar, good extracurriculars.
why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: I have no idea honestly. I added NYU to my list at the last minute when I realized that I'd like to go to school in New York.
Likely? If so, which (Sunday at the Square, University Day, etc): I'm not sure about that yet, but I might visit. Waiting on two more universities.
Other Factors: For NYU's app, I didn't include any of my supplementary materials like my newspaper clippings or other essays. I just sent in an extended activity list, so I was for certain that I didn't have
strong app. After two rejections this week from two other east coast uni's, I thought NYU would be a long shot. Oh well.</p>
